Ind Health yersus Good.

The fact is, the advantages Of poor
health have never been rated at half their
worth. What dcluge of books has been
poured ont TO show people how to get and
Keep health, and never one to teach
them how TO lose It, Take, for example,
the case of physical giant like Daniel
Webster ms prodigious health was
simply the ruin of him. Such enormous
dinners he could eat, deluged with such
oceans Of wine and brandy, and such an
immense amount Of outdoor cunning and
fishing did he have to resort TO to digest
these that three-fourths Of The time his
powerful brain was as torp.1 as that o. II
gorged anaconda.
Ahl had Webster only been n lifelong
invalid, like Alexander ii. Stephens, OF
Georgia, what All intellectual prodigy
America would have seen. lowered with
only digestion enough to keep half alive
on, and only lungs and muscle enough
for moderate, contemplative walks, the
Massachusetts DEFY would then have been
driven for refuge TO the habitual exercise
of his vast intellectual and imaginative
powers, and SO have produced some noble
work that would have enriched the world.
Let him, therefore, serve as n signal
warning to all big, hulking fellows, turn
ing up their noses at invalids, and thank
ing their stars that they are good any day
for ten courses and n quart, or gallon. of
claret, hook and burgundy.-Bost

Washington society has a far higher
tone than people not acquainted with IL
suppose, and its ladies have other duties
than those performed before the looking
glass. They have to keep up with the
times both in politics and literature, and
it would be objectionable for a noted
woman in Washington society no. to know
what is going on in congress and abou'
the White House. The most noted char
acters in the country meet here every
winter, and it requires wide information
of public men and public matters to pre-
vent ones making fool Of himself by
pretending to know that which he does
not. The knowledge of the French Is
more common than it has ever been be-
fore, and French phrases are uttered in
many conversations. The diplomats prefer
to talk French rather than English, and
some of them are unable to carry on a
good conversation in the English tongue.

AS is the case with the sex in all trop-
ical countries, Mexican womanhood comes
early. As the age Of 12 the senorita
is very knowing. At IL she is mature.
At 10 she is ready 10 take mp the duties OF
married life. At 90 she begins to be too
plump. At % she feels the need of art To

interesting for her beauty. Too much
flesh, with consequent coarseness, is the
usual trouble An anti-fat remedy ought

Cancer is not disease due to misery, to
bad sanitary surroundings, to ignorance
or bad habits. On the contrary, it is o
disease Of the Esost highly civilized, the
most cultured, the wealthy, and of locali-
ties which are the most salubrious. One
of the characteristics Of cancer is that,
unless the brain is involved, it leaves in

THE CENrRAL's ILL LUCK.

Another Washout Delayed Yester-
days Train5-Better Prospects To-
Day.
The Central seems TO have a streak of i'll
luck since the floods began. After all their
trouble the first part of the week they
managed to get affairs Strengthened up and
the track repaired Tuesday night and the
evening trains went through all right. The
morning trains yesterday passed over with
out any trouble, but about noon a short
trestle was washed away near the Ogechee
river, and that stopped all the trains very
etfectually. The through train No, 2 due
here at 5 O'Clock last night, was caught the
other side of the washout, and had not ar
rived here up to / o'clock this morning.
Several freight trains were caught on this
side The Milen accommodation train No.
was laid up this side of the break, also,
and the Asheville train was held at Halcyon-
dale.
The break is not a very bad one, being simp-
ly a short piece of trestllng that was washed
off by the subsiding waters. Strenuous
efforts were being made to repair it all the
afternoon and evening, ard the prospect was
that the trains would get through some
time before morning. The passengers Jared
very well, though some of them had to
skirmlsh around pretty lively for rations.
In ali probability the break is all right
this morning, and il is expected that the
trains will 60 through without interruption.

ALL FOR LOVE.

Philo Lawson Loses Her Mind Because
of the Fafthlessness of Her Lover.
AS romantic q case of broken heart as
ever came under judicial eye was brought
TO the notice Of Hon Hampton L. Ferrin
yesterday. Betty Lawson (colored) swore
out a warrant OH Thursday, charging her
sister, Philo Lawson, with being a lnnatic,
and fit and proper subject for the asylum
Philo was arrested and placed in jail, and
yesterday she was taken before the Ordi-
nary for examination. The jury was sum
moned, and the witness and Philo were on
hand
The testimony deduced was that Philo
had been engaged to be married to a negro
named Cohen, and had saved up 800 for
the purchase of furniture and her trousseau
Cohen had been faithful and devoted lover
until Philo gave him her money to keep,
but then .his whole nature seemed TO
change. He deserted Philo but kept
her money and married another woman
She was heart broken, and her grief
has destroyed her mind. She imagines
that her mother and sister are trying to kill
her; that they are jealous of her because
they want TO marry Cohen themselves She
will not stay at homo, but wanders about
the streets, and has become the object of
mirth of the heartless small boys of the
neighborhood. She thinks her mother and
sister have shaved her head, and when she
lifted the towel which she wears to conceal
her badness she showed as thick a head OF
hair as ever a negrcSs had. The Jury found
her insane, and she was committed to the
asylurn

The South Carolina Railway Company
announced to their ticket agents Thursday
that trains would not go through TO Hem
Jacksonville.
The merchants of King street We're
brought up standing Thursday by warn
ing from police headquarters anent their
awnings. An ordinance makes it punish
able offense for any one to leave an awning
down after night, and the law would seem
to be good one for in case of fire awnings
can contribute very materially to the spread
ing of the flames The fire on Sunday
morning last was q very forcible reminder
of this fact. Had tdere not been a night
wetchman on the street a serious fire might
have resulted. About twenty-five King
street merchants were up before the Re-
corder, either III person or by counsel, and
after calling their attention to the long
overlooked law they We're all dismissed.
The preliminary hearing in the Calvary
Baptist church arson case, which was com
menced before Trial Justice Rhctt on Tues
day, was resumed Thursday in the Office of
the Judicial justice, in the fire proof build
ing. The little room was packed with peo-
pic, who listened with a great deal of in
terest to the proceedings. Ever since the
destruction of the church, which was burned
to the ground on April p, there has been
bitter war between the two factions of the
congregation, known rs the Butler and
Ford factions. The day after the fire the
leaders of the Ford faction were arrested on
the charge of burning the church, but the
case was dismissed. Since that there has
been a long litigation as to which faction
constituted the lawful head of the corpora
ton and had the right to the insur-
ance money, amounting to $1,000
Tho present case is the third
stage of the war, and especial interest and
Importance was attached to the examine
ton, for the reason that under the Statutes
of South Carolina arson is not a bailable
offence, and if the defendants, j. c. Butler,
Grandson Butler, H. X. Daniels and John
Adams were committed for trial they would
have to remain in Jail from now until the
next term of the Court of Sessions in No
vember. The warrant against the above
defendants, all Of whom belong to the But
Ter faction, was issued upon the affidavit of
Daniel Davis, who was examined on Tues
day. After hearing a number of witnesses
and statement from the Rev. j. C. Butler,
Mr.. Rhett then said that in his opinion a
probable case had been made out for the
State, and that there was nothing left for
him to do but to commit the defendants to
Jail for trial at the Court of Sessions. The
counsel for the defense mad warrants sworn
out in the afternoon against the witness
Davis and Zimmerman, charging them with
perjury, and will fight the case further on
this point.

CLEAN SAVANNAH.

Sanitary Matters in Perfect Condition
and the City Healthy.
The sanitary condition of the city to-day
is a perfect one and for which the sink
cleaning and the street departments deserve
credit Over 800 vaults have been cleaned
since Jan. and this week there is not one
that requires attention. There are over
$500 in the city and certainly this showing
is a good one, Weekly inspections and full
reports are made and anything needing the
slightest attention is at once seen to. This
insures a healthy condition of affairs and
the departments show their working quail
ties by keeping the matter under their con-
troll up TO this high standard.
